Seattle real estate is still good – the market has cooled off a bit, but houses are still selling – with multiple offers in some cases – if they are positioned correctly within the real estate market. There are some properties that are probably always going to demand more interest when it comes to being on the market – waterfront or water views are usually in high demand and anything close to a hot urban area such as Green Lake will command a higher price in most cases. This doesn’t mean that you can just stick a sign up in the ground and wait for a buyer. Selling a house in Seattle neighborhoods or Seattle suburbs requires a bit more!
Deep Cleaning: Hire a housekeeper to come in and really get down to the nitty gritty! Most of us live with messes that we don’t even see and an outside professional eye will really help!
Simplify things: Basics like cleaning and sprucing the place up are important, but also really weeding through the stuff in your house is vital! I can’t tell you how many times I have taken a buyer through a house crammed full of stuff and had them run out thinking it was not the house for them. All these possessions we have really make our houses feel smaller than they are – the buyers feel this!
Staging – Hire an ASP to help you move your furniture around to make it the most ideal for being shown on the market. Make sure it is a Stager who has exhibited success and is recommended by your REALTOR.
